USA Today has a story out about how San Francisco is thinking about issuing an ID card that doesn’t specify which gender a person is. My only problem with this is that it will still have weight on it. I’m joking (sort of). This has got to be a difficult issue for anyone who was born in the wrong body has to deal with. It’s hard to get the government to change your gender on ID cards.

Instead of eliminating the gender section altogether though, I have a better solution. On the ID card the gender section for people without identity issues will stay the same. For those that have changed we could make it look like this:

M –> F (for male to female transformation)

Or

F –> M (for female to male transformation)

This way everyone can be upfront about what changes they have gone through and the authorities will know what kind of person they’re dealing with. I think it would be dangerous if a woman who use to be a man were reporting to court for a trial. If the cops look at the person and think she’s always been a she they might not put bigger guards on her. So a person who is thought to be a she turns out to have been a man, and men are usually stronger even after changes, then the guards are in danger of being overpowered.

That wouldn’t happen with the M –> F system. The cops would know to put stronger guards on the con for everyone’s safety.

I’m sure there’s other areas where this exacting knowledge would prove helpful. What about with bathrooms? Or locker rooms? If you were dating someone wouldn’t you want to know that they had switched teams? I’m pretty sure the military would also like to know what a person’s native gender is.

There are some kinks to work out though. What should be done with people who are in the process of changing genders? What happens if someone wants to be both genders?

This is one of society’s most vexing issues and needs to be met with acceptance and understanding. BigT
